Hello all! And welcome to another exciting addition of my fanfic! I realize that in the past few weeks or so, I have forgotten to thank my reviewers. So thank you one and all! But I haven't gotten many reviews, so keep those reviews coming. I like to know when the chapter is a bad one, and how I can improve. And now, on with the story! )
Chapter 11
Early in the morning, before sunrise, Skypaw felt a nose nudge her belly. She opened her eyes to see Whitepaw standing above her, her yellow eyes filled with worry. "Whitepaw? What's wrong?" she asked. "Come outside," said Whitepaw. "There's something very important I need to talk to you about."
A weary Skypaw silently dragged herself out of her comfortable spot on the floor, and followed Whitepaw out of the apprentices' den, across the camp, and deep into the dark forest. Finally, after a long, long walk, Whitepaw crawled into an abandoned rabbit hole and beckoned for Skypaw to do the same. Skypaw smiled at the sight of the rabbit hole, for she was relived that she would finally get to hear what Whitepaw had to say, and she realized it was the exact same rabbit hole that she had hidden in when the Dawn Patrol attacked Nightwing just four days ago. She crept in silently and sat down next to her friend. "All right, what is it Whitepaw?" she whispered.
"Do you know that Riverclan apprentice?" Said Whitepaw.
"Mistpaw? What about him?"
"Listen to me Skypaw. I know about, well, you know."
"Oh, that." Said Skypaw with a laugh. "What's wrong with it?"
"Why do you think Mistpaw tries to keep your relationship a secret to Riverclan? Think, Skypaw. It's against the Warrior code!"
Skypaw was taken aback. "No…" she said. "That… that can't be…"
"I'm afraid so, Skypaw."
Skypaw was suddenly very afraid. "You're… you're just jealous that I have someone like him, and… and you don't!" Skypaw burst out of the rabbit hole and ran away in the direction of the camp. "Skypaw! Come back!" Whitepaw called to her friend. "What have I done?" she said with a sigh.
After a long, gloomy trek back to camp, Whitepaw reentered the apprentice den, where four other apprentices slept. Skypaw, still awake, gave Whitepaw a look of fear, sadness, and anger. As the first light of dawn crept into the camp, Whitepaw curled up on the other side of the den and tried to catch some more sleep.
Will Skypaw and Whitepaw ever be friends again? Will it end up being Mistpaw and Skypaw or Spiderpaw and Skypaw? Find out in Chapter 12, coming August 27th!
